-- About this video --

Yes, we are discovering more activities in Oamaru. This morning it starts with a cheese factory tour at the Whitestone Cheese in Oamaru.

Oamaru is home to the famous New Zealand cheese brand, Whitestone Cheese, where they have their cheese factory in Oamaru. Oamaru Whitestone Cheese is open for cheese tastings in Oamaru, as well as a cheese factory tour in Oamaru. 

We do a cheese factory tour in New Zealand then go onto do some cheese tasting in Oamaru too. 

Our bonus Oamaru activity today is going to the farm of our hostel owners’ at the Oamaru Backpackers and learning about sheep shearing – a classic New Zealand job with a lot of history. It’s quite the skill to do sheep shearing as we learn firsthand when doing sheep shearing for the first time. Even after the sheep shearing, our hosts invite us to stay longer for dinner too with a delicious kiwi speciality, pavlova! That’s classic kiwi hospitality for you. 

So what do you think of the Whitestone Cheese Factory tour? Would you try sheep shearing in New Zealand? LUK in the comments!
